Applying for disability in Alabama can provide financial assistance and other support to individuals who are unable to work due to a disability. The Social Security Administration (SSA) determines eligibility for disability benefits based on a person’s medical condition and work history.
There are two main types of disability benefits available through the SSA: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSDI is available to individuals who have worked and paid into the Social Security system, while SSI is available to individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of their work history.
